The historical truths you didn't know (Forwarded)

Continuously updating, pasting on the phone is therefore very slow. \ Truth: Liang Shanbo was from the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yingtai was from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, eight hundred years apart! Zhu was a heroic woman who robbed the rich to help the poor, went to the magistrate's house to steal silver three times, and was later ambushed and killed by a crowd with blades. The people gave her a proper burial; Liang was a county official in Yin County, Ningbo Prefecture. When his grave was dug after his death, Zhu's tombstone was accidentally unearthed. Feng shui looked good, and choosing another burial site was not appropriate, so they were buried together and a tombstone was erected. The black represents Liang, and the red represents Zhu. Some literati, inspired by imagination, created an awe-inspiring love story that shocked heaven and earth.

Novel: "Water Margin" Truth: Pan Jinlian in "Water Margin" is notoriously notorious, and everyone thought she deserved punishment. Historical records show: Wu Zhi, from Wu Jia Na village, Qinghe County, Shandong, was over 1.78 meters tall. Although born in poverty, he was exceptionally intelligent, valued both literature and martial arts, passed the imperial examination in middle age, and served as the county magistrate of Yanggu County, Shandong. Pan Jinlian, on the other hand, was the daughter of a government official, an elite lady of a distinguished family. Wu and Pan lived in harmony and love, raising four sons. Yet, the magistrate's wife bore an infamous reputation for thousands of years. \【Oh, these two made enemies】

Truth: During the Wei and Jin periods, men had to look like beautiful women to receive praise; gentle and delicate female beauty was the standard for handsome men. Therefore, men of all ages strived to follow the "effeminate" trend. Most aristocratic scholars always had a mirror nearby, applying powder, lipstick, and perfume daily, to the point that they wouldn't appear without makeup. Famous effeminate men at the time included metaphysics master He Yan, writer Cao Zhi, Pan An, and calligrapher Wang Xizhi... \【This could happen】

Novels: Those with female protagonists in ancient times who had affairs, with male leads who are particularly forgiving.

Truth: On a mule-like device, there was a pointed wooden stake as thick as a thumb. When a female criminal was forced to sit on it, the pointed stake would pierce her lower body. As the device moved, the stake would extend and retract, causing severe bleeding. Many female criminals subjected to this punishment often died painfully. In ancient times, this punishment was commonly used for so-called adulterous women. \【My God, so scary】

Truth: In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a young hero who traveled alone with a sword in the wilderness. Many admired him and came to join him, but he had nothing at home, so he killed the family's only plowing ox to host them. The followers were deeply moved and offered him a thousand animals. Later, the young hero joined the army, achieved military merit, and received a reward of nine thousand bolts of silk from the court, which he distributed entirely to his subordinates... Would you want to follow someone like this?Don't rush to answer, this young man is the traitor who wreaked havoc on the world——Dong Zhuo. His merits and faults over the ages, a handful of yellow earth; right and wrong, you are free to judge 【Do you still dare?】 Truth: More than 1,600 years ago, in northern China, an unprecedented disaster befell the Han people. During this population massacre, the Han nearly faced extinction. It was the appearance of one emperor, who issued an order of less than a hundred words, the 'Order to Kill the Hu,' driving millions of invaders out of the Central Plains. He reigned for only 2 years, yet saved the Han people from annihilation, making him a truly eternal emperor. He was Ran Min, the sole emperor of Ran Wei during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. 【Isn't that amazing?】 Novel: "The Pharaoh's Favorite Concubine" Truth: I haven't read that book, but it seems to be about Ramesses; this guy had over 150 children in his lifetime, basically a stud. 【The comment is indeed sharp】 Zhu Xi, courtesy name Yuanhui, also known as Zhonghui, with pseudonyms Hui'an, Huiweng, Kaoting Xiansheng, Yungu Laoren, Cangzhou Bingsou, and Niweng. Ethnically Han, from Wuyuan County, Huizhou Prefecture, Jiangnan East Road, Southern Song (now Wuyuan, Jiangxi Province). He pioneered Neo-Confucianism with the idea 'Preserve the principle of heaven and eliminate human desire.' Yet, Mr. Zhu once got his daughter-in-law pregnant! Qu Yuan's surname was not Qu but Mi, and his descendants did not carry the surname Qu, but Xiong. The reason he is called Qu Yuan is because he died unjustly. Qu Yuan himself had a preference for males; he loved the King of Chu. The first to propose that Qu Yuan was homosexual was not a 'fujoshi' nor a gay person, but Sinologist Sun Cizhou, whose view gained public support from the famous writers Zhu Ziqing and Wen Yiduo. In September 1944, renowned classical literature expert Professor Sun Cizhou published an article in the Central Daily titled 'Qu Yuan is a Literary Jester's Doubt,' identifying Qu Yuan's homosexual orientation, which caused a stir in the literary world and drew multiple attacks. Sun Cizhou then wrote 'The Final Defense of the Qu Yuan Discussion,' standing by his perspective. Writer Zhu Ziqing sympathized with Sun Cizhou's view and invited the famous poet and Chu Ci expert Professor Wen Yiduo to oversee fairness.In later years, Wen Yiduo published "The Qu Yuan Issue" in the magazine Zhongyuan, affirming Sun Cizhou's skepticism about Qu Yuan as a major discovery in the study of Chu Ci: "Sun Cizhou's view that Qu Yuan was a jester is completely correct in pointing out a historical fact..." Wen Yiduo further elaborated on the historical background and cultural significance of this view: in the Warring States period, before the implementation of the imperial examinations, writers had no independent social status or means of livelihood. They could only survive by relying on the kings and nobles of the time, thus becoming 'literary jesters.'

At that time, wars between states were frequent, and 'loyalty to the ruler' was far from fashionable. Serving the king of Chu in the morning and working for Qin in the evening would not attract criticism. Even Confucius, who promoted 'loyalty' and 'filial piety,' traveled frequently between states and did not feel ashamed of not exclusively serving the ruler of Lu. Moreover, in the Warring States period, the appreciation of male beauty was common, and people did not feel ashamed of it. Therefore, Qu Yuan calling himself a 'beauty' in his poetry, praising his own appearance, and boldly expressing same-sex love in his verses, was not unusual.

Novel: "Lanling Confusion"
Truth: After Gao Zhan, Emperor Wucheng of Northern Qi, ascended the throne, he often stayed overnight in the bedroom of his sister-in-law Li Zuo'e. Empress Hu, unable to endure the loneliness of the palace, had an affair with Gao Zhan's close servant He Shikai. When Gao Zhan learned of this, he not only did not blame He Shikai but intentionally facilitated their relationship. He Shikai advised Gao Zhan to become a retired emperor, so that he could indulge in pleasure even further. Gao Zhan then abdicated in favor of the crown prince and lived secluded in the palace, indulging in debauchery, dying three years later as a result of excessive drinking and sexual indulgence.
Summary in one sentence—he killed all his brothers, then violated their wives; a fierce life needs no explanation~

[Weibo Founder]
According to research, Confucius was the true founder of Weibo. The Analects is the earliest collection of microblogs: 1. Each saying of the Analects is no longer than 140 characters; 2. Concise, meaningful, and profound; 3. Highly fragmented, mostly showing Confucius' moods and philosophical exchanges; 4. Highly interactive, frequently responding to Ziguang, Yan Hui, Zilu, and others; 5. Confucius had over 3,000 followers, 72 of whom had verified accounts.[Admit it, just admit it, admit it!]\ Novel: "Those Who Entered Marriage Alliances"\ Truth: Many of the marriage alliances written in middle school textbooks as examples of unity and harmony were actually tragic. For example, the princess who was married off had to respect the local customs, which basically meant she was played with first by the older brother and then by the younger brother. The most pitiful was Princess Xijun, who was first married to the grandfather and then transferred to the grandson, gave birth to a son and postpartum was distressed, literally dying from frustration.\ The Wusun princess had a tragic life; Han dynasty princesses sent in marriage were far from their homeland. Across mountains and rivers, lonely and isolated, she was the first Han princess to marry far from home; the sound of the pipa and a sad song remind the foreign princess of her homeland. The Wusun princess was lonely and helpless. The Wusun king Kunmo Liejiao was old, and Xijun was only the same age as his grandson. They could not communicate, their customs were different, and the couple met only once or twice a year, without any warmth at all. Two years later, Liejiao passed away, and his grandson Cen Zoujun Xumi inherited the throne. According to custom, the new king had to inherit all of the old king's wives and concubines. Princess Xijun could not accept this and requested to return to Han. Emperor Wu of Han asked her to accept local customs in order to achieve a united plan with Wusun to attack the Xiongnu. Xijun had no choice but to marry Cen Zou. One year later, Xijun gave birth to a daughter for Cen Zou, but due to postpartum disorder and emotional distress, she soon died of sorrow.\ [So heartbreaking...] Emperor Guangxu was a devoted emperor. Consort Zhen entered the palace at 13, and Guangxu fell in love with her at first sight. In the 20th year of Guangxu (1894), she was officially made Consort Zhen. Guangxu always adored her blindly, and the naive Zhen did not restrain herself early on, resulting in the Empress Dowager manipulating her to death and imprisonment. In the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing and Consort Zhen was thrown into a well by Empress Dowager Cixi. She died at only 25 years old...[Picture][These are definitely the two most attractive people in the Qing dynasty]At the end of the Ming dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen asked the imperial ministers to donate 1 million taels of silver to fight Li Zicheng, but everyone claimed poverty. After Li Zicheng entered the capital, he demanded the silver from them, and after severe torture, they actually came up with 70 million taels. I guess things are probably similar now, the Celestial Empire~~~ 【Ah, I instantly understood】 During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Western Wei deposed Emperor Yuan Qin, who only kept one woman named Yuwen Yunying and did not establish any other concubines. Yuwen Yunying was virtuous and modest, deeply loved by Yuan Qin, and the two were deeply in love and happy together. When Yuan Qin was crown prince, she was a concubine. When Yuan Qin became emperor, she was promoted to empress. The vast harem was empty, yet Yuan Qin never established other concubines. After Yuan Qin was deposed by Yuwen Jue and later poisoned, Yuwen Yunying committed suicide to join him in death. This proves that emperors can also be good people 【Infatuation, no explanation】 Zheng Banqiao was gay. He openly admitted it in his autobiography. He loved handsome men passionately. When serving as a county magistrate, he felt heartbroken seeing handsome male criminals, and when he had to carry out punishments, he would cry out of sadness... He even suggested abolishing the beating penalty because he couldn't bear watching handsome men get spanked... He really liked men's beautiful buttocks. In terms of sexual orientation, it seems that ancient times were much more open than modern times. If you look through "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," "Notes from the Weaving Grotto," or "A New Account of the Tales of the World," you'll see a real 'love for buttocks'! 【I can't handle it】 Emperor Zhu Wen was licentious with his daughter-in-law, obsessively infatuated with a common woman for several years without marrying her. He sent his sons to serve as local officials far away, leading troops in battle. Meanwhile, he let his daughters-in-law take turns sleeping with him in the palace. Scandals were constant. Astonishingly, Zhu Wen's sons were not angry about their father's immoral (harmonious) acts, but shamelessly competed for favor by using their wives to please Zhu Wen to secure succession to the throne. 【Another **emperor.】 Liu Chuyu (446–465), princess of Shanyin during the Liu Song of the Southern Dynasties (later titled Princess of Kuaiji), married He Ji. She was the sister of Emperor Hou (deposed emperor) Liu Ziye. At that time, she was considered the most beautiful person of the royal family of the Liu Song dynasty. Princess Shanyin was famous for her licentiousness. Historical records note that she often voluntarily entered the palace, dined and stayed with Liu Ziye, completely acting like a wife.Liu Ziye obeyed his sister without question~ (LL has no concrete evidence proving they had an affair~) Absurd demand: Although her prince consort He Ji was also a handsome man, Shanyin was not satisfied, so she made a shocking request to the deposed emperor: "Though my concubine and Your Majesty are male and female, both are entrusted to the late emperor. Your Majesty has tens of thousands of palaces, but I am the only consort, which is too unfair." "(Although you and I are of different genders, we are both the late emperor's flesh and blood. You have over ten thousand women in the six palaces, while I have only one son-in-law. It's so unfair.) The deposed emperor actually thought her words made a lot of sense, so he immediately granted her the status of a commandery prince and assigned her thirty 'faces' titles. (It is said that the term 'face' also comes from this~) Liu Chuyu readily accepted it. Even during the bizarre Northern and Southern Dynasties, these siblings were considered a pair of oddities that left people baffled. Coveting Chu Yuan: Prince Consort He Ji was a handsome man, and at the time there was an official named Chu Yuan at court, handsome and elegant. He Ji resembled him very much and was nicknamed "Little Lord Chu." Her husband's nickname made Princess Shanyin interested in the "real Lord Chu"—"Little Lord Chu" as well, as if she had married a counterfeit pirated person. What does the genuine Lord Chu look like? What does it feel like? What kind of feeling does it have? So Princess Shanyin shamelessly asked her brother, "Would you please invite Chu Yuan to my residence (as a male concubine)?" Even for just one day! The emperor actually agreed and found an excuse to send Chu Yuan to the Princess of Shanyin's residence. Once Chu Yuan left, he was not allowed to leave, living and eating with the princess's husband He Ji and the princess's thirty male concubines. This Chu Yuan was married. He married Princess Xian of Nanjun, the aunt of Princess Shanyin. Princess Shanyin should call Chu Yuan 'uncle'... When Chu Yuan was brought to the princess's residence, Princess Shanyin was overjoyed, dressing up seductively every day, lingering around him just to lure him into bed. Chu Yuan had no interest in Princess Shanyin at all; when pressed hard, he rolled his eyes at her, showing sternness and disgust. Princess Shanyin had no way to deal with him. If Princess Shanyin intended to "rape," he would say, "If you dare touch me, I will kill myself!"Chu Yuan stayed at the princess's residence for about ten days, but Princess Shanyin never succeeded, so she had no choice but to let him go home...... Regarding Liu Ziye and Liu Chuyu's shocking behavior, it was likely related to their family upbringing: their grandmother, Empress Dowager Lu, lived in Xianyang Palace, and noblewomen and clan members often came to pay their respects. Their father, Emperor Xiaowu Liu Jun, often took advantage of this opportunity to enter Xianyang Hall, forcibly bringing beautiful women into the palace, without regard for family ties or the feelings of court officials losing their wives and daughters. Even more outrageous, Liu Jun seduced and raped several of his cousins. This angered his uncle Liu Yixuan in rebellion. Liu Yixuan was later defeated, and both father and son were executed. With no worries about his rear, Liu Jun simply brought several cousins into the harem, changed their names and surnames, and one of them was especially beautiful, even granted the title of Yin Shuyi and showered with love. As for his relationship with his birth mother, the word "absurd" is probably no longer enough to describe it. With such a father, the actions of Liu Ziye and Princess Shanyin seem nothing surprising... There are two accounts for Shanyin's death: (1) The Deposed Emperor, terrified by a dream of a palace maid he had killed, went with his sister Liu Chuyu to the Bamboo Hall to shoot ghosts. Liu Yu (Liu Ziye's uncle, called the "Pig King") took advantage of this moment to have Shou Jizhi kill the depraved Emperor and ascend the throne as Emperor Ming. The next day, in the name of Empress Dowager Lu Huinan, an order was issued: "Prince Yuzhang Liu Zishang (Liu Ziye's younger brother, closely related to Princess Shanyin and Liu Ziye) is unruly and extremely vicious, violating the laws of heaven; Princess Liu Chuyu of Kuaiji indulges in lust, secretly keeps male favorites, and has no moral decency. They are ordered to commit suicide at home, and the princess died at only eighteen or nineteen years old." (2) When Liu Yu killed the deposed emperor Liu Ziye, he died under a flurry of blades! Emperor Wu of Han had thousands of beauties in his harem, and while he favored beauties, he also loved male favorites. His main male favorites were Han Yan and Li Yannian. Han Yan lived a noble life like a prince. This womanizer, relying on the emperor's favor, disregarded the royal family members at all, which aroused resentment among the Prince of Jiangdu and others. The Empress Dowager was displeased but unable to discipline the emperor, she had no choice but to deal with Han Yan: order her to die... [Emperor Wen of Sui, who feared his wife's infidelity, was the pioneer of the term "freedom"]\ Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Jian, was truly afraid of his wife; his bronchitis had escalated to the stage of emphysema.The word 'freedom' refers to the cry he sheds when he is crushed by his wife. At this moment, Yang Jian uttered the highest level of 'bronchitis' lament: 'I am the Son of Heaven, but I cannot be free!' This is the earliest origin of the Chinese word 'freedom.' He was also the only emperor in China who ran away from home because his wife angered him~
He was an emperor but once imprisoned, changing his name to avoid public avoidance. He was the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Han and the grandson of the Crown Prince Li. Shortly after birth, he was imprisoned due to a witchcraft scandal and nearly executed. He later wandered among the common people, experiencing firsthand suffering. When Emperor Zhao died, the King of Changyi was deposed for a month, and Huo Guang brought him into the palace to become emperor. During his reign, the government was clean and society harmonious, known as Emperor Xuan's Restoration. He was Emperor Xuan of Han, Liu Xun, originally named Liu Bingyi.

At that time, young servant boys took on multiple roles, especially those from Fujian and other regions were in particularly high demand! 【This really was a high-spec job】

His looks surpassed even those of his sister, but later Fu Jian took a liking to him and imprisoned him. People also called him the Phoenix, or 'Phoenix.'

Historians say Heshen was 26 years younger than Ji Xiaolan and 39 years younger than Qianlong, handsome and charming, quite talented and capable, with an astonishing memory, intelligence, decisiveness, and efficient handling of affairs. Heshen was fluent in Manchu, Chinese, Mongolian, and Tibetan scripts. Moreover, Ji Xiaolan's official rank was much lower than Heshen's. "The treacherous minister" Qin Hui was defined as a "traitor," and the glory of his descendants was also overshadowed. Qin Hui's great-grandson Qin Ju and his son Qin Jun defended Qizhou against the Jin. When the Jin learned that it was Qin Hui's great-grandson defending the city, they were delighted and sent envoys to persuade them to surrender. But Qin Ju killed the envoy and refused to surrender. After the Jin army broke through the city, Qin Ju and Qin Jun set themselves on fire to defend their country. All of this has been buried and little known. \【Remarkable】
